What Apple peripherals does the new iPad (7th generation) support?

The new iPad will support the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard. The former allows users to pair the pencil with the new iPad and use the device to write, draw, sketch, and paint directly on the iPad’s surface to create and modify design elements or text naturally just like with paper and pen. The Smart Keyboard performs double duty as a protective case that completely protects the glass screen from nicks and scratches; more importantly, it adds a full-size keyboard for typing emails, term papers, or editing just about any document just like if you were working from a laptop.
